Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country. Time for him to pipe down.

Well done, you mouth-breathing cretins. And well done to all the pricks on social media who have done nothing but race-bait over this tragedy. Shameful across the board. As a psychologist, I’ll bet you £100 this is what happened with poor Henry Nowak. Cops suffer from empathy burn out. 90% of the time they deal with nothing but scum. It doesn’t make it right, but that cynicism will have come into play, here. They get a 999 call saying, “A Sikh has been attacked.” They arrive at the scene, there’s a Sikh saying he’s been attacked and someone (Henry) acting strangely. The weapon has been hidden. They will have immediately thought ‘drink or drugs’, and they see no obvious wounds. The murderer laid on exactly the scene the police would have expected to see, had the complaint been genuine. These are pure human confirmation and anchoring biases at play: the cops saw what they expected to see from the info they had going into the situation. They were tricked. Humans make mistakes. Where the cops royally fucked up was not following normal procedures when someone says they have been stabbed, and checking them all over including skin. They should lose their jobs over that negligence alone and for allowing their biases to override their training. I guarantee you “I can’t breathe” inadvertently made things worse as that’s what every single scumbag says when they get arrested, since George Floyd. This absolute tragedy is a sad combination of confirmation and anchoring biases, excessive cynicism, and a criminal failure to follow correct procedures, not to mention a lying, murdering piece of shit and his piece of shit family doing everything they could to confuse the police and muddy the waters. It has nothing to do with diversity. Henry Nowak should not have died at all, but he would have died whatever the police did. However, in these circumstances he should have died with someone holding his hand, trying to save him, and telling him it would be ok, not in handcuffs being read his rights. The police officers who made this dreadful error should lose their jobs and will have to live with that for the rest of their days. Final point: well done to the Hants Police detectives who shredded the murderer’s story and secured a conviction.

"a lot of people"... who are they? Tiny hobgoblins doing the YMCA dance somewhere in what could loosely be described as his brain?

I grew up in Golders Green in the 50s and early 60s. It was a perfect place to be happily and unproblematically Jewish and British. Now we need leaders of British Muslim communities to be vocal in their abhorrence at these violent acts - verbal as well as physical

This is prejudiced and personally offensive. I’ve known two Palestinian journalists who were later killed by the IDF. Neither was a ‘terrorist’; both could be critical of Hamas and Hezbollah, and both had a genuine dedication to telling the truth.

Happy Thursday. Start your day with Mexican keeper Jorge Campos coming on as sub for Atlante in 1996, playing up front, and casually scoring a sensational volley. Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.

One of the greatest goals you probably have never seen!

Comedian @rorybremner treats @SophyRidgeSky & @WilfredFrost to an impersonation of Donald Trump and King Charles III meeting during the state visit ⬇️

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

Happy AJ Stewart Day, 8/4/63. Useful footballer too! @cta84 @yorkiejill

All most every sentence of this is a lie. And if the Strait of Hormuz does open it will be on Iranian terms, something Iran did not enjoy before Trump’s War. So thanks a lot for the Tehran Toll Booth.

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK must not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

Discussion is pointless. Trump is threatening to kill 92 million people. He has to be stopped.
